Re: VERY URGENT AND SENSITIVE MATTER.
Having tried to call you this morning without success and sequel to the recent directive by the New President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, to use our bank (Unity Bank Plc) to immediately pay all Inheritance/Contract debts owed to foreign beneficiary's, we deem it necessary to inform you that we have just received an email this morning from one JOHN TONNA claiming to be your partner and manager in UAE. Mr Tonna instructed us of your sudden desire in re-routing your unpaid Inheritance / Contract fund with Government of Nigeria to the below bank account in UAE.
Commercial Bank of Dubai Ltd.
Port Saeed, Dubai UAE.
Account Name: John Tonna
Routing # 320910325
Account # 1255010416
According to Mr Tonna, your company is presently handling a project in UAE and lacks adequate funds to accomplish this project. You then instructed him this morning to ask us to re-route the SWIFT TRANSFER to this new account in UAE to enable you have adequate funds to complete the said project as you are already on your way to UAE.
He also said that he will be sending money to take care of any cost associated with such sudden change as funds have been set aside to take care of any expenditure that might arise while re-routing the SWIFT TRANSFER to this new account in UAE.
Your behavior and that of your Manager Mr Tonna are against the ethics of our procedure. You do not have any right to give us such sudden change / instruction especially when this kind of transaction is taking place where large sums of US dollars are involved.
You should have contacted the Finance Ministry for such a change in Address. The Finance Ministry , being the ordering customers in this case, then have the duty of contacting us with instructions to execute the changes based on your demands. Your attitude was quite unprofessional.
Upon receipt of your confirmation to this request, we will send to you a copy of the wire transfer slip sent to the new requested account in UAE for your records so that you can await the arrival of the fund and confirm that it has been wired as instructed by your representative Mr Tonna.
We will equally sent a copy of the wire slip to your manager Mr Tonna so that your Manager can now pick up the funds in UAE as requested. Call me immediately to confirm this information before we can act on it.
RESPOND AND CONFIRM ASAP
Yours Faithfully,
DR. FALALU BELLO. OFR, FCIB
